        SOPHOMORE = 'SO'
        JUNIOR = 'JR'
        SENIOR = 'SR'

        @property
        def is_upperclass(self):
            return self in (self.JUNIOR, self.SENIOR)

    year_in_school = models.CharField(
        max_length=2, choices=Year.choices(), default=Year.FRESHMAN.value)

    def is_upperclass(self):
